Time is running out

by kelki @ 17/10/2007 - 13:07:48

I got up at 10am today to make a start on my uni work which has to be in this Friday. It's been 4 hours and so far I have only come up with my title. AAARGHH!
To be fair the title part is actually very difficult. Now I have to assemble a project plan with goals and objectives and a fucking Gantt Chart of how my project will be organised until January. I have just discovered i don't have the bloody software on my PC to produce the chart and i really can't be arsed to trek to the library to get the disk today. It's cold out there and i have virtually no makeup on.

Also it's Wednesday which is going out night and i have said to myself i'm not going out because i have work to do but for some reason i'm itching to start fake-tanning just in case. I don't even WANT to go out. I'm just worried that i'll get the urge at about 6pm and i'll be pale as a sheet. What a stress! Must focus.

Ok, here goes. I will start my project plan, leave the Gantt chart 'til tomorrow and fake tan in a min just in case.


 
 

Swoosh.....

by kelki @ 17/10/2007 - 09:46:28

Swoosh was the sound of me running through the park last night. I really liked it! To be fair we didn't go really fast, more of a steady jog. There was quite a long uphill section that we did without stopping though. Feel really proud of myself for going out there in the cold and dark and trying my best. My ass really hurt when we were running! I thought it was the most toned part of me - obviously not! I swear it shouldn't bounce up and down like that. I will be monitoring my ass bouncing as a measurement of it toning up - haha. Not stiff at all today which is surprising. I think i can push to go a bit faster next time.
As we were running through a field we came across a burning car! It had obviously just gone up because it was burning like crazy. The fire engines were just arriving and it was hilarious because we were running past it off into the night like we were the arsonists! Got scared incase the firemen came after us!
So in short, running IS for me! Wow.

A pic of me!

fearne2

Of course i'm lying. This is actually Fearne Cotton. Looking a bit like me! Weird....
Thought i'd post this because i'm loving people comparing me to her! It happened again today when some guy at uni said i reminded him of her. Spooky! Maybe one day i'll be brave and post an actual pic of me so you guys can compare. haha x

Going running!

by kelki @ 16/10/2007 - 19:47:30

Yes in approx 1 hour i'm going RUNNING around a park with my 2 friends from uni. I have never before in my life been running besides at school. My running friends are identical twins and they both have well hot bodies! They eat quite shit but say they go running 3 nights a week so it's obviously working for them. It should be fun but i'm worried i'll be really unfit and upset myself at how crap i am. It could go the other way and i could run like that wind! Who knows. I haven't been back to the gym since i started at uni and i keep eating takeaway late at night after going out so i need to up the metabolism a bit. I don't want to go out there in the cold in unflatering gym clothes but if i want to eat pizza at 3am i'd better do something.
So wish me luck that i can do it and don't fall over or something stupid.

A day at home home

by kelki @ 13/10/2007 - 13:05:39

I'm actually at my proper home today or "my Mum's" as i should call it seeing as i have kind of moved out. Noone is here though as they have apparently bobbed off on holiday again without telling me.
I'm here because the Boyf is doing some electrical work in the living room. I thought i'd do some uni work whilst i'm here but have hit a block because my family's lovely new computer doesn't have MS Word on it. Rubbish. So now i have to wait whilst i download a free trial version so i can open the lecture notes that i want to print off. Sigh.
The house is pretty much the same. My room is looking very sad without me in it. My middle sister has done her best to fill my wardrobes with her crap. My littlest sister is blatently loving letting her friends sleep over in my bed. I keep finding sweet wrappers in it. It's a bit of a mad house really. I can almost see the Boyf's brain spazzing out when he walks in here. My family are not bothered about too many rules or cleaning up all the time. Don't get me wrong, my house isn't dead dirty or anything but we have a comfortable amount of mess. I like it. It's homely and laid back. You don't have to wash the pots up all the time or stuff like that. Just do it when you want to or leave it if you can't be arsed. Definitely the way i like to live.
My upbringing definitely causes most of the fall-outs between the Boyf and I as he lived with stringent rules and chores and i didn't. This means he has brought this level of tidyiness and order into his adult life and i haven't! I don't want to either. I think life's too short for cleaning all the time. If you want to slide down the stairs in sleeping bags and bounce on your bed when you're a child then you should be allowed to! My childhood was well fun. Toys everywhere and never had to tidy up. Brilliant. I wish the Boyf's dad hadn't been so hard on him. Now he makes it hard on me when i leave stuff around in the flat!
We did have some rules. If my sisters and i ever were rude or badly behaved then it was smackdown time from my mum and we never did it again! We were punished for important stuff, not for not making our beds or leaving our toys out.
Ahh i miss being a kid!

Make-up obsession

by kelki @ 10/10/2007 - 13:42:01

I caved in and put on some make-up.

I have a really bad thing with it. I will NOT leave the house without make-up on. My daily make-up consists of:

Foundation
Blemish concealer
Under-eye concealer
Yves St Laurent Touche Eclat (yes ANOTHER concealer)
Face powder on my eyelids (prevents creasing)
Black liquid eyeliner
Black mascara
Eyebrow shadow (mine are too blonde)
High Beam (highlighter)
Blusher

Lip gloss or just balm

Phew! This is me scaling it down. Up until 6 months ago i used to wear eyeshadow which took an absolute age to blend. The eyeliner is way quicker.

If i'm just dashing out to the shop for milk i might skip the foundation and just use concealer and mascara.

Today i have been good and just put 1 kind of concealer around my eyes and one coat of mascara. I feel like i look like a dog though. I need to leave my skin out to breathe today. I don't have acne or anything but my poor chin gets real spotty.
I honestly think i look hideous without slap on. Blech.
I can't look that bad or people would run screaming from the room when i walked in. The Boyf sees me all the time without make-up on because i always take it off before bed. He says i look the same without it. Liar but he must really love me!

I'm not getting dressed today

by kelki @ 10/10/2007 - 11:41:50

I'm keeping my PJ's on all day today. I plan to stay here in the lounge and study it up so that i can go out tonight and feel that i've earned the right to party. I don't need to leave the house today. Don't have any lectures and i went food shopping yesterday so don't need anything to eat. This means i can give my face a rest from make-up until tonight. Have got a stupid zit appearing on my chin so need to keep applying spot stuff in the hope it'll go down for later. Gross!
I may need to pop out and buy some vodka but will wait until the cover of darkness so can go before i start putting my party face on.
Right off i go to write some notes. Bye for now!

It's been a while.....

by kelki @ 09/10/2007 - 20:36:13

Well not a huge amount of time, but nearly a week since i last blogged.
Here's what's been going on:

I'm studying like a trouper! Been a really good finalist so far. Doing lots of reading around my subjects, writing up lecture notes etc. Feel really good about this.

Had a great night out on Saturday. My sister and best mate were out along with countless other people i love to hang out with. Even the Boyf let his hair down and got drunk. We laughed, joked and danced. Perfect night out.

I finally found a hairdresser who doesn't mess around and bleached my roots to perfection. Hair looks really good. Really happy about that.

So in short life is good at the moment. A few minor downs in the past week but i'm over them now so nothing to report in the negative.
Got a day off uni tomorrow so plan to sit in my pj's and do work. I'm just SO studious!!

I didn't make it.

by kelki @ 04/10/2007 - 14:09:08

I am a crap finalist. I woke up when my alarm went off but there was no hope. I was still drunk or something and had to stay in bed. So i missed my 9am lecture. Managed to drag myself in to uni for my 11 o'clock so not too naughty. Now i have to go online and read the lecture notes that i missed. Got a headache and my eyes hurt.
Had fun last night though.

9am start will kill me

by kelki @ 03/10/2007 - 10:31:02

I'm going out tonight and tomorrow i have a lecture 9-10 then 11-12. I have never in my uni life been out the night before and managed to make it in to a 9am lecture. I HAVE to go tomorrow. This is 3rd year - serious stuff. I just checked to see if there was another slot for the same lecture that i could go to but no. I'll be interested to see how many other people turn up. Up until now the lecture theatre has been packed.
I have 2 examples of me getting up for work after a night out.
The first is me walking to work so hungover that i actually fell over in the road, got mud all over my trousers and grazed my leg so badly that i LIMPED for the rest of the day.
The second is me forcing down a biscuit on my tea break sat with my boss only to realise it was definitely coming back up. I told her this to which she replied "I'll shut the office door" as she left the room. I was then sick in the office toilet like BLAAAAAARGH! My boss was a legend and wasn't mad at me. She did make me stay for the rest of my shift which is only fair seeing as it was self-inflicted.
So, it doesn't bode well for tomorrow. I think i might try drinking water after 1am.
I hope i don't have to run out the lecture to be sick. I'd better sit near the aisle.

A degree in blogging!!

by kelki @ 02/10/2007 - 15:52:07

Today i had my first tutorial in "Online Communities". The assesment is all based on a blog which i have to keep on the university website!! A BLOG! How cool is that!! I also have to be a member of about 6 online communities (already am!) and talk about social networking sites (i LOVE these) etc. I should get a first in this or i really will be disappointed in myself.  I can't believe the asessment is a blog. Amazing. I'm so excited to get into this module. Other people in the class didn't even know what a blog was so i have a clear advantage over them. This also means that when i'm on here i'm actually contributing towards my degree! Haha. Guilt free blogging. No more worrying that i should be doing uni work instead of being on here. Brill.

Second day at school

by kelki @ 02/10/2007 - 09:19:03

I started back properly at uni yesterday. I arrived at my first tutorial and i didn't know ANYONE in it! I sat on my own like a loser thinking how come everyone else seems to know someone but me?  Luckily a girl who i practically never spoke to from last year but who i know by sight walked in and i waved her over. She looked relieved to see me as she also didn't know anyone.
I have 2 more tutorials and a lecture today. I really hope i know people in these ones. It's not nice being a third year and feeling like a first year. I don't know why the powers that be have totally split up our group from last year but they have. It doesn't seem to have happened to other groups as they all have friends in tutorials.
Well i'd better go get ready now. Will put my most approachable face on and pray i make a new friend today!

Okay we get the message!!!!

by kelki @ 01/10/2007 - 20:52:47

Today on the train back to Leeds the tannoy man on the train kept banging on about the smoking ban in train stations. At one station he said that smoking was not allowed anywhere including the far extremities of the platform and to remember "although you may feel like you are outside - you ARE NOT! This is the workplace of British Transport and so smoking is not allowed here".
Enough all-fucking-ready!! We know there is a bloody smoking ban!
At Leeds station he also told us that we are not allowed to smoke on the footpath outside the station! As if!! That is outside and excuse me but i thought the ban included places that had 3 walls. You could argue that the pavement is the workplace of policemen/street sweepers/big issue sellers etc and so no smoking there. Ugh! I didn't even think about wanting a ciggie until he started whinging on about it. I bet he's an ex-smoker. They are the worst. My Boyf is now one of these. He actually rubs his hands in glee at the thought of winter and smokers having to go outside. It's only to make himself feel better because he loves smoking so much.
I say shut up about it we know there is a smoking ban. There are even no smoking stickers in the bank. THE BANK!!! When have you ever been allowed to smoke in there???!!! Grr. I'll leave it now. I know all this has been said by many people already. Just had to put my 2 pennies worth in.....
